Luminance	The brightness of the liquid crystal display screen per unit area.	cd/m2 (candela per square meter)
Viewing angle range	The range in which the liquid crystal display device can be seen at the specified contrast ratio. Expressed in degrees.	° (degrees)
Input signal	Display data input to the liquid crystal module. The signal can be analog or digital.
Supply voltage (current)	The voltage (current) supplied from the power supply required to operate the liquid crystal display module normally.	V(A) (volts/amperes)
Operating temperature	The ambient temperature (range) at which the specified display characteristics can be obtained.	°C (degrees Celsius)
Overall dimensions	The dimensions of the liquid crystal display device.	mm
Viewing area	The effective screen area.	mm
Number of colors	The number of colors that can be reproduced by the module. When pixels consist of R, G, and B dots, this is calculated by multiplying the drive grayscales (*) of each of R, G, and B. (*)Number of drive grayscales: The maximum number of grayscales of the drive signal input to the liquid crystal display module.	Colors
Contrast ratio	The ratio of transmissivity or luminance when the ON drive and OFF drive voltages are applied.
Response time	The time required for the transmissivity or luminance in a liquid crystal display device to reach the specified value from when the ON/OFF drive signal is applied.	ms TYP.
Power consumption	The power consumed by the liquid crystal display device during operation.	W (watts)
Storage temperature (range)	The temperature range within which the liquid crystal display device can be stored while not operating.	°C (degrees Celsius)
